Title: RC Micro Helis
Post by: Wolfala on November 29, 2005, 02:47:23 AM

You guys know anything about them? Which is a good starter and not a complete POS. Looking for small scale electric micro, 4 - 6 CH, 2 motor or 1 motor doesnt matter.

The X-UFO from Silverlit (http://www.silverlit.com)  has really good reviews (at least the second generation with the electronic gyro). You can find a lot of movies on the web and it looks darn cool for a 100 € toy.

That being said, a lot of customers complain that after 1-2 months of intensive use, it becomes hard to control or doesn't fly anymore...

I've tried this one, and it was easy to fly, even though I had never flown a heli before. It has two counter rotating rotors and no tail rotor. Very easy to handle, but it doesn't do aerobatics.

Wolfala, me too, BUT forget all the tummy circular & head patting at the same time:)
Different ball game, but if read the reports it is a GREAT machine and is fairly easy to hover and fly.
Get the training gear plus extra battery.
Read the RC Forum, the URL is above in another post.
Good luck, you are going to have FUN:aok
